Ye Olde Farts' Club

Information

For Olde Farts, those of us who have been described as fart, codger, curmudgeon, crotchety, cantankerous, etc., More importantly - we who have so described ourselves. Also for those who can stand being around us! Beards and mustaches not required.

What is an Olde Fart? I found this definition online: "Tribal elder. A title self-assumed with remarkable frequency. This is a term of insult in the second or third person but one of pride in first person." This group is for folks who shamelessly claim the title "Olde Fart." Expect jokes, puns, and a good bit of craziness!

I wonder if crotchety comes from "crochet",
I find that as I get older (and older) my b.s. detector is more sensitive and I am less shy about calling someone out on it. I will send back to the kitchen any restaurant food that is not good, return rancid olive oil to the store, just get generally hard to deal with. We only have so much time on this planet and it should be good whenever possible.
I believe that curmudgeons are generally men and old women get 'crotchety'. A man can also be an "Old Coot"., a woman is a "biddy".

Schley Cox sent this message to all members of Ye Olde Farts' Club: "Curmudgeon" was left out of the terms associated with Ye Olde Farts. Despite the word's murkey history (Google) it sounds so Irish it is almost green. I vote we appropriate it before someone else gets greedy about it. It would be the curmudgeonly thing to do." Dictionary.com says that the source is unknown. And I don't know that the irish could claim a corner on ther curmudgeon market, but I agree it fits. Plus, it isn't like "olde fart" is a particularly irish term. So, since i wrote the description, I will add "curmudgeon." And if anyone doesn't like it, too bad.... Schley, how is that for curmudgeonly?
